If you"ve been following the latest news surrounding Teen Mom OG star Ryan Edwards, you know things are not going well for Maci Bookout"s troubled ex.
It all started last week, when Ryan got arrested for a probation violation.
From there, he fell onto a disastrous downward spiral that culminated in Maci filing for an order of protection to prevent Ryan from having any contact with her or her family.
Her filing revealed that Edwards had threatened to kill her husband, Taylor McKinney, and now we know that"s not the only time he"s displayed truly troubling behavior in recent years…
1. A Troubled Man
Ryan’s year-long descent into chaos began when he fell victim to heroin addiction last year. Teen Mom OG fans watched in horror as the father of one repeatedly gambled with his life.
2. The First Rock Bottom
Ryan lost consciousness while driving to the church for his wedding to Mackenzie Standifer. He checked into rehab shortly thereafter, and for a while, it looked as though his life was on the upswing.
3. Bad Omens
Unfortunately, Ryan left rehab ahead of schedule. He then demonstrated that he was still grappling with many of his old demons when he launched a bizarre social media tirade against Maci.
4. A Second Chance
Ryan and Mackenzie held a second wedding to make up for their disastrous first attempt. Fans were stunned to see Ryan drinking beer and downing shots prior to the ceremony.
5. A Secret Arrest
Ryan and Mackenzie did a surprisingly good job of pretending that all was well, but little did we know, their lives were unraveling behind the scenes. In April of 2017, Ryan was arrested for heroin possession, but the couple managed to keep the matter a secret – both from fans and from Maci.
6. The Past Bites Back
That arrest came back to haunt Ryan this week when he was arrested again, this time for an undisclosed probation violation. Now, his worst nightmares are coming true, as his life falls apart in front of all the world.
